Rewrite convert_to_{git,working_tree} to use strbuf's.

* Now, those functions take an "out" strbuf argument, where they store their
  result if any. In that case, it also returns 1, else it returns 0.
* those functions support "in place" editing, in the sense that it's OK to
  call them this way:
    convert_to_git(path, sb->buf, sb->len, sb);
  When doable, conversions are done in place for real, else the strbuf
  content is just replaced with the new one, transparentely for the caller.

If you want to create a new filter working this way, being the accumulation
of filter1, filter2, ... filtern, then your meta_filter would be:

    int meta_filter(..., const char *src, size_t len, struct strbuf *sb)
    {
        int ret = 0;
        ret |= filter1(...., src, len, sb);
        if (ret) {
            src = sb->buf;
            len = sb->len;
        }
        ret |= filter2(...., src, len, sb);
        if (ret) {
            src = sb->buf;
            len = sb->len;
        }
        ....
        return ret | filtern(..., src, len, sb);
    }

That's why subfilters the convert_to_* functions called were also rewritten
to work this way.
